Hit Music Lyrics
Hit music on the radio
Hit music on the radio
When you dance with me we dance forever
All night long to your favourite
Hit music on the radio
Hit music on the radio
When you dance with me we dance forever
All night long to the latest song
Live a lie, dance together
All night long to your favourite
Hit music
Hit music
I've been working hard all day
To pay the bills I have to pay
Don't have the strength to work all night
Or fight until it's almost light
Music on the radio
D-dance music at the disco
Live a lie dance together
All night long to your favourite song
Live and die, it's all that we know
I need a friend at the journey's end
Hit music, in stereo
It's all about love, and it's about forgetting
Choose a song when the night's too long
We all need love and we want protection
I need a friend at the journey's end
In Kensington, or Spanish Harlem
All night long to your desparate
Hit music on the radio
Music at the disco
Hit music on the radio
Hit music on the radio
Hit music on the radio
All night long to your favourite
Hit music on the radio
All night long to the latest song
Live a lie, dance together
All night long to your favourite
Hit music
To pay the bills I have to pay
Don't have the strength to work all night
Or fight until it's almost light
D-dance music at the disco
All night long to your favourite song
Live and die, it's all that we know
I need a friend at the journey's end
Choose a song when the night's too long
We all need love and we want protection
I need a friend at the journey's end
In Kensington, or Spanish Harlem
All night long to your desparate
Music at the disco
Hit music on the radio
Hit music on the radio

This is about listening to music on the Radio, and about living for the music and living a music-based lifestyle, the verse:
"Live a lie dance together All night long to your favourite song Live and die, it's all that we know I need a friend at the journey's end"
Suggests that he wants to dance all his life, and thats the only way that he knows. Overall a very upbeat and catchy tune.
I once read an interpretation of this song as being about "when you take the sex out of disco." In other words, you keep dancing all night and you're not going home with anyone. Given PSB's sexuality, and the era in which this song was made, I wonder if AIDS, and preventing it, is the broader context here.
"When you dance with me we dance forever"
All we're going to ever do is dance.
"All night long til you're desperate"
You want sex, but you can't have it. It's too risky.
"We all need love and we want protection"
"Protection" being the operative word.
